We appreciated the white clean linens. Our location was right next to the golf course and brewery.

We appreciated the space and the clean linens. If updated, this property would have probably rented for much more. We were in town to visit family, so it worked out perfect for our needs.

Townhouse was outdated but very clean, peaceful

The townhouse itself was clean, it's old but they try to keep it up. Located on the golf course. We went there for the lake, which is about 1 away from the accommodation. Lake was great, it was busy, but staff was helpful and pleasant. It's very peaceful there, no motor boats allowed. You can also kayak to a waterfall. Would be back again

Comfortable and clean place to stay

We enjoyed our visit to this region of NC. It was a clean and comfortable place to stay. We would have liked more clear information about where to find the community pool, etc., as well as the lake with paddle board and kayak rentals. We didn't end up persuing the use of these amenities as we hiked and shopped and dined and ran out of time. But it still would have been nice to know where it all was. Otherwise, a great visit and I recommend this rental. Thanks.

Great place to stay!

We lucked out finding this 2 bedroom condo for our family of 6. It was the only thing available on short notice and I was skeptical. Great location in Sapphire! Easy access to Cashiers, Highlands, state parks, waterfalls and more! The lake you get to use as part of your amenities was awesome. Make sure you go there! We visited the pool 1 day. That would be fun for younger kids. Condo had everything we needed. Not fancy, but clean and comfortable. The restaurant on site was very good and my boys enjoyed playing golf onsite too. Best restaurant in town was Micas. We ate there twice.

Nice short accommodation

The rooms are spacious and large and fit our needs. It is basically like a townhouse with 2 levels. The check-in process needs improvement. There is hardly any cell coverage in the area, so you have no idea when room are you going to be ready. We arrived at 1:00 PM and they told us the room should be ready in an hour or 2, but after coming back at 3:30 our room was still not ready. The unit and property is dated, but that would be fine if they update the carpet, and or other items like 2-pane window which you could not see through.

Beware of hidden fees and not being heard

At check in we were surprised by a fee for the internet that was listed under amenities. It was not ever listed on my device. I handed my phone to the office manager and he agreed it was not there. I just needed this company to at least acknowledge their error but they just went around in circles with no solution or help. They were rather rude and I will never use this company again. The furnishing we're very dated and poor low quality paper products.

Read listing carefully - all resort amenities are almost 2 miles curvy mountain roads away

We were looking forward to a quiet mountain getaway and booked this because of the pool, jaccuzi, Sauna, table tennis, cute little mountain lake pictured etc. The ad wording and photos are misleading because they truly made me think the community building and lake to rent a paddle board is on the property, and not a 2 miles drive down an extremely winded mountain road in a different community. Upon arrival the resort staff themselves were very accommodating, but could not help us resolve our complaint. They did not list this. We just wanted to leave, we were so disappointed after driving for 5 hours. We called the group that actually listed this and got a real person on the phone Friday afternoon. But, he could also not address our complaint, because he has this listing from a third party 'Supplier', who already went home for the weekend. We are still waiting for somebody to call and address this, but they don't care. Next time I will only book with a real person. We paid so much more because we thought the resort amenities were on the property, only to be awoken by golfers and lawn mowers shortly after sunrise, with a ticket to a pool miles away. We left a day early, and the resort reimbursed the last day resort fee. I can not book with confidence if the person who is responsible for this listing can not be reached. The resort staff was very nice though and I would still recommend this if you don't mind driving your car back and forth all the time. And I would book directly with the host.

Very comfortable and pleasant stay. Thank you.

Property was clean, well equipped and furnished. We really enjoyed almost everything about our stay. Two minor irritants: we arrived after dark and the map given us was so inadequately landmarked that we had to go back to the check-in desk and tell them we could not find the property. One of the guys offered to have us follow him to our cabin, which was great of him to offer. Also, I detest Resort Fees. Why not be more honest about the overall charges and build the resort fee into the daily charge cost.

Get a hotel instead!

The property description is very misleading! It looks nice from the outside but when you step in it's extremely dated and in need of some serious repairs. For the money I spent, I could have gotten a five star hotel instead. It was almost 80 degrees inside the cottage and smelled really musty. They finally fixed the AC on the last night we were there. The so called "amenities" they offer......you pay a daily fee for amenities that you may or may not be able to use due to the waiting list to use them. The whole experience, starting from check in was definitely not worth the money spent. We will not stay here again!

Can’t control Covid19i

Had to make some sacrifices due to COVID. Would like to have rented clubs and played 18 but the course would not take the risk and do club rentals. Makes no sense because carts are rented out but can’t wipe off clubs. If you want to rent paddles or fishing poles that’s plenty ok at pet hour rates.
